I have been away from here for far too long. my apologies. things have been topsy-turvey in my life recently, I'm even fighting a bedbug infestation. I inherited that from looking after a friends (some friend she turned out to be)dog while HER place was being fumigated for them. she assured me that bedbugs don't travel on dogs. you know how they say, "no good deed goes unpunished"? it's true. and no matter what anyone tells you, bedbugs CAN be active during the day and they DO go on animals. be careful. it can take up to a year to get rid of them.
